Hi,

I'm trying to perform a benchmark load against my Knative Kafka broker and stream some Json or whatever, just to see my pods to spin up as much as it can and need to consume it, so I tried Jmeter and Apache Bench, however it doesn't work for this scenario.

Has anyone done such benchmark that could share the experience and how it was performed?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Anderson,

we're testing Kafka Broker and Channel performance with

Hi Pierangelo,

Thanks for the answer.

I started to use the https://github.com/rakyll/hey for the benchmark against the Kafka Broker and it's working so far so good.
